On Wednesday's programme, we'll first look into the Hospital Authority's new charges and fees. Taking effect in three phases from January the 1st, the healthcare fee reform will charge Accident & Emergency patients according to the severity of their condition. It will also cap charges at 10,000 dollars per year for each patient.

Following the break, we'll speak to the Hong Kong Red Cross about its three to five year relief plan to support victims of the Tai Po blaze, after it received more than 400 million dollars in donations.

And lastly, American billionaire Mark Zuckerberg's once ambitious dream of creating a virtual world - the Metaverse - is facing challenges. He's reportedly planning to cut the division's budget by up to 30 percent after it recorded losses.
